Safety Considerations

  • Observe all ‘Safety Considerations’ for safe and proper operation to avoid hazards.
  • ****symbol indicates caution due to special circumstances in which hazards may occur.

Warning Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.

  1. Fail-safe device must be installed when using the unit with machinery that may cause serious injury or substantial economic loss. (e.g. nuclear power control, medical equipment, ships, vehicles, railways, aircraft, combustion apparatus, safety equipment, crime / disaster prevention devices, etc.)
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury, economic loss or 4;

  2. Do not use the unit in the place where flammable / explosive / corrosive gas, high humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat, vibration, impact, or salinity may be present.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion or fire.

  3. Install on a device panel or DIN rail to use.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

  4. Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

  5. Check ‘Connections’ before wiring.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire.

  6. Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

Caution Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or product damage.

  1. Use the unit within the rated specifications.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.

  2. Use a dry cloth to clean the unit, and do not use water or organic solvent.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or electric shock.

  3. Keep the product away from metal chip, dust, and wire residue which flow into the unit.
    Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire or product damage.

Cautions during Use

  • Follow instructions in ‘Cautions during Use’. Otherwise, it may cause unexpected accidents.
  • Since the power for external sensor is without the output short over current protection circuit, do not short circuit 12 V and 0 V terminals.
  • Use the product, 0.1 sec after supplying power.
  • When supplying or turning off the power, use a switch or etc. to avoid chattering.
  • Switch or circuit breaker should be installed nearby users for convenient control.
  • Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise. In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power line and shielded wire at input signal line. Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise.
  • This unit may be used in the following environments.
    – Indoors (in the environment condition rated in ‘Specifications’)
    – Altitude max. 2,000 m
    – Pollution degree 2
    – Installation category II

  • PA-12-PG/PGP
    • When selecting re-start mode while operating, re-supply power.
    • You should consider total delay time first when selecting the division. When division time is shorter than total delay time, output TR keeps staying ON state.
    • E.g.) When the signal of which input signal is 100 Hz (ON: OFF=1:1) is inserted,
    1/100 Hz = 10 ms (ON = 5 ms, OFF = 5 ms).
    Since input signal’s on time is 5ms, therefore, total delay time for output waveform becomes 35 ms (5 ms + 30 ms).
